Party Poopers Birthday Card adn a Fishy Envelope

Hi Everyone!

Today I have a card to show you.

Recently a mom in a group I'm in on Facebook

posted that he twins are turning 6 yrs old and that they

love opening mail.  She asked if anyone would be

willing to send them cards for their birthday, just so they

would have them to open from the mail.

Being a card maker, I was happy to help out.

This is the card I made for her little guy.

The background piece was made with alcohol inks 

on Yupo paper.

I thought it was a great background for a celebration.

The dogs are Party Poopers

I stamped the image with 

VersaFine Onyx Black Ink

and colored them with colored pencils.

I fussy cut the image and adhered it to the background

with foam tape to give it a little dimension.

I stamped the Celebrate with an alpha stamp set

from my stash, I have no idea what company they are from.

I then fussy cut around it to make a banner shape.

The whole thing was then adhered to a white card base.

Inside I simply stamped "Happy Birthday"

I made the envelope with my

We R Memory Keepers Envelope Punch Board

and decided to decorate it.

I stamped the fish onto the envelope, then stamped them 

onto scrap paper and fussy cut them to make a mask.

I put the mask over the fish (Sm Fat Fish & Lg Fat Fish)

and used Distress Inks to 

apply the 'water' to the envelope.

After taking the masks off the fish I colored them with 

colored pencils.

I covered the colored areas with 

Distress Micro Glaze 

which is a glaze that makes it water resistant, 

so the inks and coloring won't be ruined if they get wet.

I think the little guy will get a kick out of receiving 

this in the mail.

Thanks for spending time with me today,

I hope you have enjoyed it here at

Kristie Kreates 

and will come again soon.

Next up, the card I made for the other twin.

Card Drive

Hello crafty friends!

Today I'm showing you a couple cards I made

for a card drive.

These are for a non profit called

Live Like Roo

They are in need of cards to send as encourangment,

sympathy and thanks.

These are the 2 that I made.

I stamped "Dorky Bird" with 

VersaFine Onyx Black Ink

and colored it with colored pencils.

This image was stamped and colored the way as the 

card above.  The image is

"Party Poopers"

Thanks for stopping in today,

I hope you've been inspired in some way.

See you soon,

Until then

Party Poopers Card

Hi everyone!

I need a card for my great nephew's birthday,

since he loves animals, I thought this would be the

perfect card for him.  He'll be 3 yrs old on the 17th.

I stamped 

"Party Poopers"

from Stamp On It

onto watercolor paper and colored it with my

Water Color Crayons

I stamped the golden dog and the black and white one

again onto scrap pieces and colored them the same as

the original.

I fussy cut the extra images.

The black and white dog is adhered over the original with

foam tape.  The golden one is adhered with a 

Action Wobble

The background was also colored with water color crayons.

I hope this video works for you, sometimes it does

and sometimes it doesn't, but I can't figure out why or

how to fix that.

Inside I stamped this Happy Birthday sentiment

with a stamp that I took off a wood block, so 

I don't know what company it is from.

I colored it with colored pencils.

I think Emmett will love this card, especially since it

has the movement of the action wobbler.

Thanks for stopping by today, 

I hope you'll come again soon.

Until then,

try making something a little interactive.

Cute as a Bug!

It's time for another Eureka! Stamps Challenge.

This week the theme is Pregnancy/Baby

I chose to do a double page scrapbook layout

of my daughter when she was a baby. 

I used several different stamps from

All images were colored with FlexMarkers

Many of the images are only a portion of the original image.

I just colored the parts I wanted and fussy cut them.

Here are the images I used. 

They are available in digital format,

but I used red rubber stamps for all of mine.

"Bunny with Flowers" (#13407)

"Baby Animals (#40204) 

"Lady Bug Border" (#25302)

Party Poopers

Hello all!

Today I have a card to show you that I made for a challenge on one of my favorite blogs, Going Buggy.

Each month Enfys posts a challenge and I have been saying that I'm going to do the challenge, but I haven't before. 

I always have good intentions,

but I am so bad at getting challenges done. 

Well surprise!  This month I did it!

The challenge was to make a card for a child.

Here is my card.

I used "Party Poopers" (#14303) from Eureka Stamps

I colored the image with my FlexMarkers (which I love working with)

I layered it onto some red card stock from my scrap stash and added the bit of ribbon and the balloon brad, then adhered it to a card base covered with some fun polka dot paper.

I had a lot of fun making this card.  I hope you'll pop on over to

Going Buggy

and see all the cards entered into the challenge

and maybe you'll join in too.

Be sure to check Enfys' other posts, I'm sure you'll enjoy them.

Thanks for stopping by today, leave a comment if you will and come again soon.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
